About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Educational Development Corporation Announces Board Approval to List Company Headquarters for Sale

By: Newsfile

Tulsa, Oklahoma--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2023) - On November 15, 2023, Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) announced, via press release, Board of Director approval to list for sale the Company's headquarters and distribution warehouse located at 5400-5402 South 122nd East Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74146 (the "Hilti Complex") with a licensed commercial real estate broker by November 30, 2023. The Hilti Complex consists of multiple buildings totaling 402,255 square feet of rentable office and warehouse space on 34-acres. Approximately 185,400 square feet of the Hilti Complex is occupied by a third-party tenant under a 15-year lease, with the Company occupying the remaining 216,855 square feet. The Board approved the Hilti Complex sale, with or without the adjacent 17 acres of excess land located behind the Hilti Complex. The Hilti Complex, without the adjacent excess land, was appraised for $40,510,000 in July 2023. The 17 acres of adjacent excess land appraised for $1,460,000.

The Company expects to enter into a sale leaseback arrangement with the building sale including a lease term of seven to fifteen years to maximize the sale price. Proceeds from the sale are expected to pay the Company's borrowings with its bank and provide liquidity for ongoing operations.

Per Craig White, President and Chief Executive Officer, "It has been management's number one priority to reduce our debt and related interest expense. In line with our prior announcement, we closed on the sale/leaseback arrangement of our warehouse facility which allowed us to strategically reduce our term debt with the Bank by $4.7 million. The proceeds from that transaction, combined with our forthcoming sale of the Company's headquarters and distribution facility, will play a pivotal role in removing interest expense and restoring profitability. Following the sale of the Hilti Complex, we expect to operate with minimal borrowings thus improving our bottom-line profitability. Although the Company continues to maintain high levels of inventory, without debt this excess inventory turns to cash, allowing us to strategically deploy the proceeds to maximize shareholder value."
